Dec. 27 1938. 1, RADETZKY CONTAINER FOR TOILET MATERIALS Filed Aug. 13, 1938 I INVENTQR v /?///V6' 6904-72 0 ATTORNEYS Patented Dec. 27, 1938 UNITED, STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.

This invention relates to improvements in containers for toilet materials, such as soap, dentifrice, etc.

It is an object of the present invention to equip such a container with a carrier detachably connected with the egress end thereof and carrying a plug or the like of styptic or other treatmentmaterial in convenient position thereon for immediate and easy use, attached to or detached lu from the container as the need or desire therefor arises.

In the accompanying drawing,-

Figure 1 is a vertical elevation of a container equipped with a treatment-material carrier embodying the present invention;

Figure 2 is a like view, on an enlarged scale, of the upper end of the container and attached carrier, the latter being shown in vertical section;

Figure 3 is a plan view of the container and carrier on the same enlarged scale; and

Figure 4 is a vertical elevation of the'treatment-material container removed from the container.

In said drawing, A represents an ordinary collapsible container or tube for such materials as dentifrice, shaving cream, etc., and this is provided with the usual open mouthed neck a through which the contents of the tube is expressed as required for use. This neck a is screw-threaded externally and on it is removably mounted a correspondingly internally threaded closure cap I). This cap b, unlike the cap ordinarily provided for such a container as A, has a cone-shaped opening cast or otherwise formed in it and in an externally threaded projection c, and in this opening there is a plug d of treatment-materialwhich projects upwardly through and beyond the opening, said plug being coneshaped and fitting said opening and held therein by friction. The material of the cap forms an annular ring around the base of the opening which serves as a seat for the washer later referred to and the plug 11 is dimensioned so that it fits the opening with its base substantially in the plane of this annular seat. The plug at when not in use is protected from the effects of ex- 6 posure, etc., by a thimble e threaded on projection 0.

This plug may be of styptic material, where the contents of the container A is shaving cream or soap, for use on face cuts occurring during 10 the act of shaving, or it may be comparatively soft erasing and abrasive material for use in cleansing teeth of tobacco stains where the contents of the container is dentifrice; or it may be of other materials, depending upon the character 15 of the contents of the container and the purposes for which the treatment-material is to be used. The plug of treatment-material may be used for such purposes while attached to the container or removed therefrom. In either case it is carried by the container so as to be at all times readily available for use as occasions therefor arise.

The cap 12 carries a washer 1 which, when the 25 cap is in position on the container A, closes the neck a, preventing escape of the contents of the container or contact thereby with the plug it.

What is claimed is:

A container for toilet material comprising a 30 body portion, an exteriorly threaded upwardly projecting neck having an opening for the egress of the material, a cap screw-threaded to said neck and having a vertical cone-shaped'opening adapted to receive a plug of treatment-material 5 fitting said opening, held therein by friction and projecting upwardly therefrom, said cap having an annular seat surrounding said opening, and a washer carried by the cap, fitted upon said annular seat and covering the said openings in o the cap and neck.
